fender I am bringing up a point if my employer is able to pay me that kind of a pension Amazon one of the most successful companies in the world can surely afford to pay better than$13.00.Some of the managers at this plant will be making $124 per hour the average manager $74.00 per hour

LGR Full and part time jobs !!.Scott Walker promised 250000 FULL time family supporting jobs $13.00 per hour for the average Amazon worker is barely a family supporting wage.Are they jobs? YES Are they full time ? Some NOT ALL. Are they family supporting jobs?? 'll go with NO unless you are a family of one you can go with what ever you think

This is good news, but temper your Walker enthusiasm a little. 77% of these jobs will pay an average of $27k per year at full time labor hours, and many of these jobs are part time. And for those of us who order online, these sites establish nexus in WI, so we pay sales tax for Amazon purchases.

So you'd rather nothing? All business did was leave under the control of Democrats. Every job created in this world is not an aeronautical engineering position. It hurts for you to give the Governor some credit huh? He's got my vote.

WOW! $13.00 DOLLAR AN HOUR JOBS.Thats called poverty level for an average family of four.Looks like 1675 more for the tax payers of Wisconsin to add to Badgercare.No make that 475 because 1200 of them will probably live 6 miles down the road in Illinois and pay no Wisconsin taxes.

Maybe if you only have skills that warrant you getting a $13.00/hr job, perhaps you shouldn't be trying to support a family of 4 on it. At the very least have your partner get one of those $13/hr jobs as well.

You picked the lowest warehouse rate 50/50. Why? What about the management job that pays closer to $100K?

Oh right, liberals have a propaganda need to keep pressing against Walker.

Serious, you shouldn't raise a family on $13/hr, you made some very bad life decisions if you are. You also are not adding in all the free crap one would get from the Government if they did live off that with a family. So they are making much more than $13/hr, paid for by profitable businesses.

Walker has nothing to do with any of this. Amazon has had plans in the works for years to open up distribution centers all over the country to cut down on shipping times. This happened in spite of Walker, not because of Walker. If you want to see things that Walker has his fingers all over, look at the Kenosha casino, and the Chicago-Minneapolis train.

Great news for SE Wisconsin. Would love to read where companies would make these investments without the need of taxpayer support. Would also suggest that the pro/anti Walker contingents would relax as these decisions are driven more by geography, census catchment and highway access than political agendas. If Illinois had upped the ante these warehouses could just as easily been developed in Gurnee.
